Today’s object lesson is dedicated in honor to the dedication of the Provo city center temple. I hope today’s object lesson can be used to youth ministries, family devotionals and family home evenings.

Different containers serve different purposes. We have prescription bottles to help us manage the proper dispensing of medicines. We have match boxes which contain matches in an organized well labeled container. We sit in the car to be transported from one destination to another.

We have buildings that are dedicated to different purposes. A hospital is used help with the sick as well as a library to contain books. Churches and temples are dedicated to learning God’s gospel and also provide an opportunity for us gather together and do his work. It gives an opportunity for people who share a common purpose and to learn together. Church is for us sinners to improve ourselves.

Object lesson:

Have various containers that still have their contents. Discussed how each container is labeled and preformed the task. One example is where medical containers contain a safety lock to prevent children from hurting themselves by taking medicine they shouldn’t. A safe having security code that is required to get access. Built your examples from small items to large and discuss how churches and temples can help improve our lives.

This can be personalized according to your home experiences.
